AQ’s growth factor technology is a high-level and innovative method for producing and utilizing human growth factors in therapeutic skincare products. Growth factors are a group of specialized and delicate proteins that act as chemical messengers between many types of cells. Growth factors critical for activating cell functions are naturally found in the human body, specifically in fibroblast cells. Select growth factors play a vital role in increasing cell production, cell division, and in the production of blood vessels, collagen, and elastin.

By combining reliable research and cutting-edge clinical experience, AQ employs a patented blend of suitable combinations and appropriate concentrations in growth factor-induced therapy (GFIT).

Through medical studies, it has been discovered that growth factors accelerate and promote healing when applied to areas of the human body damaged by surgery, burns, wounds, or accidents. The beneficial mechanism is facilitating changes at the cellular level, bringing damaged cells to a younger state, thereby improving damaged skin throughout the process. Growth factor technology has been proven to enhance the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin and helps restore normal hair growth. The initial patents for growth factor technology in cosmetics were awarded in 1994.
